St. Ignatius Seniors: Veggies always welcome

Gardens have started to produce and fresh vegetables are healthy for each of us. If you have a garden and find yourself with extra veggies and/or fruit, please remember the senior centers and your local food pantries. I know everyone enjoys these items.

The center has been gifted with 1,000-piece puzzles. We have over 50 I believe. If you would be

interested in taking one home or someone you know could use a pastime activity please check out the selection.

Thank you to all who came for Bingo on June 10. It was a fun time.

We are open the days that meals are served. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy a meal at the center at noon Fridays and Tuesdays and 5:30 p.m. selected Wednesdays. Menus are available via email, mail, or at the center. You don’t have to be a senior to join and support our center and meet neighbors old and new. Membership is just $10 a year.

Main dishes include: baked ham, June 16; shepherd’s pie, June 20; roast beef, June 21 (locally grown food will be featured); and tuna casserole, June 23.

If you are interested in a take-out meal, please call 406-745-4462 by 10 a.m. and leave a message.

Gentle Yoga meets at 1 p.m. Wednesdays. For more information, call 406-253-0177.

Foot Hill Club gathers at 1 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays for snacks and cards.

The center has a computer available for public use from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Tuesdays and Fridays; the facility is also available to rent. If you need a walker, commode, wheelchair or high-rise toilet seat, these items are available to share.

If you need help with other areas of your life such as transportation, respite and home health services, or other information, call the friendly people at Lake County Council on Aging in Ronan at 406-676-2367.
